I think that UC-IMC would be a bad choice for indymedia.com's registered
address, for several reasons:

 1. UC-IMC seems to be drifting (have drifted) toward a corporate mentality
    which does NOT reflect the nature of IMC.
 2. concentration of power (financial AND legal in one location!) is a great
    temptation to abuse.  Was the process around "the book" an example of
    this?

>>I don't think there should be any objections to this.
